This years conference of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO) will take place in Vienna from 30th May to 1st June. ASPO is hugely important for the investigation of the geological fundamentals of peak oil. Dr. Werner Zittel, working at the LBST and member of the Energywatchgroup in Germany, part of ASPO, will be one of the speakers. He has written an updated report on peak oil, gas and coal in 2010, funded within the project “Save our Surface” and has released a report on metal availabilites in 2012, funded by the project “Feasible Futures“.

This blog documents a research project on peak oil and gas resilience that has just started. The project will last until June 2013. Besides our own research, we will mainly bring together information on resilience debates, especially with a view on peak oil and gas.
